Rough Terrain Scissor Lift Rental

Contractors and companies across Indiana and Michigan rely on our large selection of all-terrain scissor lifts to tackle outdoor projects. While equipment make and model availability may vary by location, you can count on us to get you the right rough-terrain scissor lift.

What Is a Rough-Terrain Scissor Lift?

Rough-terrain scissor lifts are like traditional scissor lifts, but are built specifically for outdoor use on uneven surfaces. They feature reinforced tires and four-wheel drive. A diesel engine powers most rough-terrain scissor lifts instead of batteries.

Like other scissor lifts, all-terrain lifts are vertical. That means their arm only goes up, instead of horizontally like some other aerial lifts. Rough-terrain scissor lifts can reach heights of up to 60 feet, while their workspace area is between two to 10 feet. Some manufacturers, like Genie, include a slide-out extension deck to create a larger work area.
Rough-terrain scissor lifts usually hold more weight than regular scissor lifts. For comparison, most scissor lifts hold around 1,000 pounds, while all-terrain ones can carry around 2,250 pounds. That means they can lift more equipment and workers so you can get the job done faster.

Safety is an important factor, which is why our all-terrain scissor lifts often include the following features:

Manual lowering

Motion, tilt and descent alarm

Lanyard attachment points

Self-closing gates

A variety of accessories are also available for rough-terrain scissor lift rentals, including:

Extension decks

Light kits

Leveling jacks

Non-marking tires

Depending on your project’s needs and its time frame, renting an all-terrain scissor lift may be a smart choice.
